Tower corn mill recorded
Trett's Mill is recorded as a wind-powered tower corn mill at Stokesby with Herringby.
Site overview
Trett's Mill is a former tower corn mill at Stokesby with Herringby in Norfolk. It is distinct from Stokesby Commission drainage mill, which stood closer to the River Bure. Trett's Mill is recorded as a tower corn mill and survives as a standing converted mill building.
Historic England photographic records show the mill as Trett's Mill in 2000, and specialist mill sources identify it as the Stokesby with Herringby tower corn mill. The surviving tower preserves one of the parish's former wind-powered corn-milling sites within the broader Broads landscape of corn mills and drainage mills.

History
Trett's Mill stood at Stokesby with Herringby and worked as a wind-powered tower corn mill. It should be distinguished from Stokesby Commission drainage mill, which stood separately beside the River Bure and pumped water by scoop wheel. Trett's Mill belonged to the parish's corn-milling history rather than its drainage-pump history.
The mill is recorded by specialist mill sources as the Stokesby with Herringby tower corn mill and by the Mills Archive as Trett's Mill. Historic England photographic material from 2000 records the standing mill under that name. The surviving tower has passed out of wind-powered use and is now a converted structure, but its form remains legible as a former Norfolk tower windmill.
The importance of the site lies in preserving the separate identity of Stokesby with Herringby's corn mill. In an area where several Bure-side drainage mills stood close together, Trett's Mill records the parallel use of wind power for grain milling. The building remains a visible survival of the parish's former milling landscape.
